Ireland is on the same timezone at the UK, and so is Portugal. It seems to
me that Spain and France should be the same too, but for their close ties

folks fooling around with the time count are missing the opportunity and

Seriously, a sperical shell doesn't work, as there is no gravity inside,

I think I've read all the responses to your question. I would like to make
you aware of an approach that I've used for many years. It involves a
coordinate transformation from horizon coordinates ( I use +X for South, +Y
for East and +Z toward the Zenith) to dial coordinates ( +X is
